"Summer break" or slow business?

According to Wing they are re-evaluating their future plans for the company and taking a break while doing so. I believe business slowed down for them. Their pricing was a joke, they mostly made two sizes of watches monsters and babies, that would be 50mm+ or 38mm and smaller. I once watched Wing on a sales show, don't remember which, say with a straight face that no Android watch went out the door that was not set to at least +/- 4 seconds a day, the only NH35A I have ever bought that was outside that range, and this is from many different manufactures, was an Android and it was + 20-plus seconds a day.

Another weakness was their making watches that are about the same weight as a large woman, this would be a turn off to lots of people especially those who like to wear their watches loose on the wrist. Of the five Androids I own I always felt they should have beveled the edges of their cases more, they are much sharper than they should be.

IMHO, after five Androids, I simple felt there was nothing compelling about them to continue to buy any more.

Pretty much agree with your comments/observations. I hope Wing's evaluation results in his production of watches that will appeal to a broader market. His designs are not the problem, IMHO, but, as you mentioned, the size and weight.

Well, looks like Android didn't quite make the August 16 promised date for reopening their website. Looks like they are still working on it, though.

I own about 5 android watches. ....wish I could sell them. I never wear them anymore. Wing and crew need to come with a whole new concept. More 42mm and 44mm instead of all these huge clocks.

Old post, but I'll just give the reason I quit buying Android watches. They started to look like Invictas. Overly large, and pretty damn ugly. Saying that, I recently brought an Invicta 8927C Pro Diver.
My cut off is 43mm. Any larger and it doesn't look right to me. And anything below, say, 39mm, looks too small. I like Wing. I just think he got sidetracked temporarily. I hope he comes back with some new designs. I have two older Androids, and think that they are pretty nice watches.
